"Okay, so here are the lyrics for the song," I said after writing them down.619Please respect copyright.PENANAPSZXmRYgKT
619Please respect copyright.PENANA13jyhDbYoZ
Everyone's attention automatically turned to me. They all fell silent. I read out the lyrics first then sang them out.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, addressing the question towards BAP.619Please respect copyright.PENANA7uhkAkTHDl
619Please respect copyright.PENANA2heekP8O9a
"Just admit it," said Zoey, "the song is awesome."619Please respect copyright.PENANAFiN41uQ8dr
619Please respect copyright.PENANAs7MU4X1jQW
"Zoey." Christine gave her a look that told her to keep quiet. "Let the others take it in first."619Please respect copyright.PENANAymS3BP73Kt
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQu0QQe8Pho
"Zoey's right," said Daehyun. "The lyrics are great."619Please respect copyright.PENANAv5QwvVlY3w
619Please respect copyright.PENANAbIG0ffQWUP
"I now get what Daniel said," said Zelo, "the song is meant to be sad, but it's fun to sing. You can hear it with the way Sam sang it out."619Please respect copyright.PENANAVmEbV788kn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlnoE1IiyFi
"You should listen to the tune," said Mike. "You'll love it."619Please respect copyright.PENANAG0UnTMugMF
619Please respect copyright.PENANAscbBw7HopH
"I bet that's why you went searching for the guitar," said Jongup as he looked at me.619Please respect copyright.PENANAEENuz9aSYd
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4g0tl0m22R
"Play the guitar, Sam," Himchan insisted. "We're all dying to hear it. I bet Yong-guk can't wait any longer."619Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZLc6UylFX
619Please respect copyright.PENANA3QrKC6OcRH
"Huh?" Yong-guk looked at Himchan beside him, looking confused. "No, I'm not."619Please respect copyright.PENANABduyk5cvYV
619Please respect copyright.PENANAJugs0NxyxK
"Of course you are," said Yong-nam as he gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "Don't forget, I'm your twin."619Please respect copyright.PENANAmAFuhLt7Hd
619Please respect copyright.PENANAavuGN3W2gu
"Okay," I said as I took the guitar that had been laying on the table the whole time. "Let me play it, then."619Please respect copyright.PENANAr5wPrYEoAZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAFaHUDyhNsH
I positioned the guitar properly before me with my crossed legs supporting it. Before I started to strum the strings, I took in a deep breath. I played out the tune first. Afterwards, I started to sing out the chorus. It wasn't long so it ended sooner than expected.619Please respect copyright.PENANAtjTsdMavm9
619Please respect copyright.PENANAiATE7DMaAO
"Wow," said Young-jae, looking at me like he's just seen something's dazzled him. "The song's going to sound awesome."619Please respect copyright.PENANABZpPYWERym
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPPhQ0pVodB
"Thanks," I said. "Oh, before I forget," I reached out for the pencil on the table and started to write something down. "We also worked on the first verse, but we couldn't finish it up yesterday. We were having a little trouble with the words so we want to see what you guys think."619Please respect copyright.PENANAA1qz0EhlDQ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAO23PKtGTA6
"Alright," said Yong-guk, looking to see what I was writing on the paper. "Whatever it is, I bet we can handle it."619Please respect copyright.PENANAOMlWocBQ9Q
619Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ7FYJ3mIE
"Can't wait to see you try," said Christine. "But then again, if it's you two l'm not worried."619Please respect copyright.PENANAaP5j3yerP3
619Please respect copyright.PENANAku2arAMqnm
"There you go again, Christine," I said after writing down the lyrics. "Okay, here we are." I laid down the pencil aside on the table.619Please respect copyright.PENANAuOx6wV1NI9
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXn2wovIsNz
I felt Jongup lean closer so as to see what I had written. I leaned to the side a little, but his blond hair almost covered my face. I couldn't help but take a sniff. His hair smelt really nice. Well, this seems unusual. I tried to lean away further so as not to smell him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAUgYZtDrRIi
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIcjYcVqwjq
"Come on, Jongup," Zelo complained. "You're distracting Sam. We all want to hear what she has written."619Please respect copyright.PENANAgYjBrcEUOD
619Please respect copyright.PENANAS67jMrmdyZ
"I don't think that I'm distracting her," said Jongup as he looked at Zelo. "Right, Sam?"619Please respect copyright.PENANANBPfpxh4Mk
619Please respect copyright.PENANAxECwmXeD2L
It's when he turned his head to look at me that I yelped and leaned back further than before, almost falling to the floor. Instead, I ended up leaning on Yong-nam.619Please respect copyright.PENANAFztP1S1SKS
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMfC5QDcUn0
Jongup looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. It's either he didn't know what he was about to do or he knew and was just playing dumb.619Please respect copyright.PENANAOOWXLduNCY
619Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4emjJk0TL
"What's wrong, Sam?" he asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAjuioWOc0aR
619Please respect copyright.PENANANfgvx6Mifl
I suddenly blushed. He really didn't know that he had almost planted a kiss on me. Anyway, it's best not to tell him. I hope the others hadn't noticed.619Please respect copyright.PENANArX6ZB8T0vU
619Please respect copyright.PENANA87Yo6JaCHA
"Goodness, Jongup," said Mike, "you almost kissed my sister."619Please respect copyright.PENANAORfzLAL6pU
619Please respect copyright.PENANAFzcZpnE6ES
And it just had to be Mike. Goodness, me!619Please respect copyright.PENANAEFNqIaT5uZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAu8eCeMAxti
"Huh?" Jongup looked surprised. "I did?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAQQIZbjFj7g
619Please respect copyright.PENANAC9n7lJVilH
"And you were this close," said Zoey indicating a tiny space with her index finger and thumb.619Please respect copyright.PENANA21cgnnACOe
619Please respect copyright.PENANAO6xsDHo8Qx
"Oh...," Jongup turned to look at me. I was still leaning onto Yong-nam's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Sam. Maybe I shouldn't have leaned in too close."619Please respect copyright.PENANAfDQO0Ttjfv
619Please respect copyright.PENANApNvjxxcY0J
"You see, I told you so," said Zelo.619Please respect copyright.PENANAnV79WUocWD
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjssB5eTqFH
"No, I'm okay," I said as I sat upright. "Sorry for leaning on you like that, Yong-nam. I hope I'm not too heavy."619Please respect copyright.PENANAf6s9xdFy9a
619Please respect copyright.PENANABb0Pq5tGyq
Yong-nam cleared his throat. "Not at all," he answered. "You're actually pretty light."619Please respect copyright.PENANAyHGGJU9mdo
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4C17huM3Ly
I nervously laughed, not sure whether he meant it or not.619Please respect copyright.PENANAsZI43zyqas
619Please respect copyright.PENANA1d5Y7QhLw7
"Wow," said Zoey as she delightfully clapped her hands together. "First Sam avoids Jongup from kissing her and then she leans onto Yong-nam who prevents her from falling. So sweet."619Please respect copyright.PENANAEsleW6434E
619Please respect copyright.PENANAI3b2z9jppM
"You're such a fantasist, Zoey," said Daniel as he shook his head.619Please respect copyright.PENANAvNHvQE68L8
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjdy9y6J8k0
"Don't mind her," I said. "Can we forget the kissing incident and focus on the song, please?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAF5NtNkoZFk
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4OGp00Ro6X
"Sure," said Mike. "That's if we can reset Zoey's brain or else she won't stop talking about it."619Please respect copyright.PENANA8gHZJFYPgo
619Please respect copyright.PENANA8G50UaiSqG
"Are you saying that I'm kookoo?" Zoey asked, looking at Mike.619Please respect copyright.PENANAwQHurT9qXU
619Please respect copyright.PENANAnuX2n1NHsO
"You can argue later, you two," I said, giving them a look. "Let's try and focus."619Please respect copyright.PENANADSPKTyakGk
619Please respect copyright.PENANAvdIfzcOm3Y
I went back to looking at the paper in front of me and read out the lyrics for them. Just like we did with BAP's song, we started coming up with lyrics. But this time, it proved to be a lot difficult than we expected. Whatever we came up with didn't really fit with the song.619Please respect copyright.PENANAClRibZD5rD
619Please respect copyright.PENANAYrTHk7YtmE
"Is it just me or something's just off?" Young-jae asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqGhcZPqFQ3
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQJznnmxvAm
"I think I feel what you mean," said Zoey as she scratched her head.619Please respect copyright.PENANAiZp7j95VAJ
619Please respect copyright.PENANASum1YMP9CL
"Huh? What's Zoey saying?" Himchan asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAVvImAW9Dzl
619Please respect copyright.PENANAopSag4VyFe
"I told you we should've rewired her brain a little," said Mike as he turned to look at me. I shook my head. Zoey on the other hand, ignored him. That's so unlike her.619Please respect copyright.PENANA4CO3g7UMAg
619Please respect copyright.PENANA2DMu6Csy8n
"I feel we aren't working like we did the first time," said Christine.619Please respect copyright.PENANAKfPc6wei8Q
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEmqhy1zKBr
"Ya, that's what I meant," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANA0UMwlXUFkI
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjg2tEu1C10
"We just aren't coming up with the right lyrics," said Yong-guk, "that's all."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJd4BXJB4I9
619Please respect copyright.PENANAHFgUdntALj
"Why is that?" Himchan asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANASLsuw6o88Z
619Please respect copyright.PENANA5PqWh8SDvx
"Who knows," said Daniel. "What do you think, Sam?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAXoZSviJDlq
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGGg5WtLGHe
I shrugged my shoulders as I also couldn't figure out why we found it so difficult. I scratched the back of my head and pouted my lip a little.619Please respect copyright.PENANAc3nXzlQgSr
619Please respect copyright.PENANAHEAW1779rV
"You look like you're about to cry, Sam," said Jongup.619Please respect copyright.PENANA2uz5fHa32D
619Please respect copyright.PENANAA3O25HjoWR
"Don't mind me," I said. "I'm frustrated that we're going nowhere."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJr9LizvPES
619Please respect copyright.PENANA2uSDshNdIX
"Maybe we're all just tired," said Zelo.619Please respect copyright.PENANAT56SSjGUwM
619Please respect copyright.PENANAiBdGW87Kk1
"I felt we rested enough," said Daehyun.619Please respect copyright.PENANAijsAP1XKjL
619Please respect copyright.PENANAU3cCuRk2mm
"Or maybe we've been in the same place for too long," I suggested. "Sometimes the environment contributes greatly."619Please respect copyright.PENANAasfxjcA0v5
619Please respect copyright.PENANAileZi5EiyC
"Maybe," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAYSFJ9qk7zv
619Please respect copyright.PENANA6dP1tlClh0
"What do you think, Yong-nam?" Christine asked as she turned to look at him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAeGi832oq2M
619Please respect copyright.PENANAfvG5IcffMc
He raised his arms up to stretch. As soon as he put them down, he said, "I think we're all just tired. We exhausted ourselves working on BAP's piece and thought we would do the same with this one. If you ask me, we should just call it a day and continue tomorrow."619Please respect copyright.PENANAUcC4QxfUWG
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUIV5eWizKN
"Tomorrow?" Daniel looked shocked at the idea. "Won't that be a little too late for us?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAfeANo0OQun
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMbcEIGo0HA
"You're right," I said as I slapped my forehead. "We've to meet the songwriters and composers for the album. We won't have enough time."619Please respect copyright.PENANAWtjzjR0WZn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAk92OAh9elA
"Not forgetting that we should at least have something to present to Yang Hyun-suk," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pic65ImZF
619Please respect copyright.PENANAkRqDErIS4r
"I told Collins to buy me more time, but I doubt Yang Hyun-suk will even want to hear it. Goodness, just thinking about it feels overwhelming." I buried my face into my hands.619Please respect copyright.PENANAWKOBMOz3LJ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAY0x07yXUsv
"Now I wish we never had to make an album," said Zoey as she leaned back on the chair and sighed.619Please respect copyright.PENANA9782GNA69l
619Please respect copyright.PENANAgM1wiUaHkb
"Wow, you guys are working on an album?" Jongup asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAuib5SC6TeO
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEUdmp9TFwM
"Yep," I answered as I lifted my face up from my hands. "Our managers are ambitious."619Please respect copyright.PENANA5tbyuDI0rD
619Please respect copyright.PENANAvfONxOLtUO
"At least we don't have to worry about the other songs," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANAkljWLsLO5B
619Please respect copyright.PENANAVv0pv08YJA
"But you heard what Collins said this morning, Zoey. This one has to be awesome. But the way we're so exhausted, I feel we aren't going anywhere."619Please respect copyright.PENANAUTjkkAiIlC
619Please respect copyright.PENANAmSA5ckxWx7
"I think we should take a little break," said Yong-nam.619Please respect copyright.PENANAb2uTTI7hV6
619Please respect copyright.PENANAHQcn7EEvLz
I went back first onto the floor with my eyes closed. I really did feel exhausted. Why did fatigue have to settle in like this?619Please respect copyright.PENANAS1pot4Ws1j
619Please respect copyright.PENANADFAlLGanih
"You're scaring me, Sam," I heard Yong-guk say.619Please respect copyright.PENANAGUdfYLBCvl
619Please respect copyright.PENANAM0qi40OMcA
"Oh, don't mind her," said Zoey. "She started this and finding a way to finish it is frustrating."619Please respect copyright.PENANAZWAx1O6w9c
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4bQ5IoetDh
I smiled a little at what Zoey said. Starting something and not finishing it really is frustrating, especially if it involves something that you really love to do. And with time ticking by, Yang Hyun-suk and Collins will have no choice but to be disappointed tomorrow.619Please respect copyright.PENANA4x3YKfEPxh
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4jRo0t1RNF
"Wait..., does this mean we won't have the reward Lee was talking about?" I heard Daniel ask.619Please respect copyright.PENANAV917boipBW
619Please respect copyright.PENANA37KqDjYkNO
I opened my eyes as I remembered Daesung's invitation. I really wish I could tell them the truth, but I held my tongue. Even if we leave this place without much progress, Lee won't hold us back because it isn't much of a reward, but an invitation to go out for an outdoor movie. I sat up.619Please respect copyright.PENANAXEZGgyyof7
619Please respect copyright.PENANAasgNLNazLw
"Don't worry about that, Daniel," I said. "Lee will give us that reward."619Please respect copyright.PENANAtFeG0KoQO9
619Please respect copyright.PENANANQwezIRSBV
"For someone who seems tired, you sound pretty confident," said Himchan.619Please respect copyright.PENANAYKepFDUB09
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7djmSt2cTm
"I just know." I smiled at him as I shrugged my shoulders.619Please respect copyright.PENANAa6MZEdELMH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAdGA1dSn91F
"Do you've any idea what it could be?" Daniel asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAESjETs4LVL
619Please respect copyright.PENANAzPMyRqQNiL
I shook my head. It's best it turns out as a surprise.619Please respect copyright.PENANAFVcfGAU53b
619Please respect copyright.PENANA3YaokDp6dY
"So, what are we going to do now?" Zelo asked. "Just sit and do nothing?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAVO3LqJJVn7
619Please respect copyright.PENANApjuWm6Ctvp
"We can do something fun to pass the time," Christine suggested.619Please respect copyright.PENANAc5YYdLU04M
619Please respect copyright.PENANAhmHnGVYtex
"Not me," I went back to lying down on the floor.619Please respect copyright.PENANAvdhVsF5STN
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEfFUsue0pk
No one said a word. I could feel a few eyes on me, while others, I'm guessing, gave each other looks.619Please respect copyright.PENANAhZfbguM8vZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAWbuBPL31vB
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey. "You're such a party pooper."619Please respect copyright.PENANA7nC4hb9EQr
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUSXFiTNOIR
"Haven't heard you call me that in a while," I said as I smiled at the ceiling.619Please respect copyright.PENANAl1u8u4pO25
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMkXHx5NKOy
"Get up, will you? This is no time to be lying down."619Please respect copyright.PENANA32YeoAEe7C
619Please respect copyright.PENANAs2YaTxmeGG
"There's nothing wrong with lying down to rest, is there?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA1OLRVursnU
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0ldwmzwBAD
"Goodness, me." Zoey sounded frustrated. She couldn't argue over that and she knew it.619Please respect copyright.PENANAX4VI3D83FZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQN2WJk8fxG
"Maybe we should call Lee to pick us up," Mike suggested.619Please respect copyright.PENANAV3wgqCQjXr
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGS8kQfu59n
"Don't bother," I said as I closed my eyes. "With us not under her radar anymore she's probably doing something for herself right now."619Please respect copyright.PENANAKzCQiwOck9
619Please respect copyright.PENANA24LnZ9FBZf
I heard Zelo and Daehyun chuckle while I heard Christine and Zoey mutter out in frustration.619Please respect copyright.PENANADmkgTdzAHg
619Please respect copyright.PENANAAODXogCsN3
"Looks like you're stuck here with us until Lee comes to pick you up," I heard Yong-guk say.619Please respect copyright.PENANAlo6mvYNaNn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXcwTS2gAPx
"But we can't sit here doing nothing," said Daniel. "Like Christine said, we better find something to do."619Please respect copyright.PENANA9sihyc4Lov
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjgbMSQEHaS
"You should be resting," I suggested, my eyes still closed.619Please respect copyright.PENANA23nVDaviB3
619Please respect copyright.PENANAqrZSE6odYU
"Well, we don't want to," said Zoey. I imagined her folding her arms and looking at me like she would at Mike when he got her angry.619Please respect copyright.PENANAtKB9RzrMpj
619Please respect copyright.PENANArl8cg0EVq8
I smiled. "Suit yourself."619Please respect copyright.PENANAdFyq3SCkd0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAAdneEOJ7jd
"No one wants to do karaoke in the recording booth?" Jongup suggested.619Please respect copyright.PENANAjQgZm5ZCcH
619Please respect copyright.PENANABFET57hsDh
"I think we've done enough singing for one day," said Daehyun.619Please respect copyright.PENANAdMzSRtBAE9
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0B8Fw8Jlyb
"I agree," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Tr1vnY3v
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4F2l6bnfZ5
"If there's clearly nothing to do, then I think we should be resting like Sam's doing right now," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAl52abkFhgZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXFS37Z9sJm
"I like your thinking," I said with my eyes closed. I raised my hand to give him a thumbs up.619Please respect copyright.PENANAwbPkxxIvgs
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUKS9liGnsS
"You songwriters all think the same," I heard Christine mutter.619Please respect copyright.PENANAkVhw7WhQYh
619Please respect copyright.PENANAl65A1xrkAr
"I might not agree with all this," Mike started to say, "but I'm going through with Sam's idea. I'm just going to lean back on the couch a little."619Please respect copyright.PENANA9K06NMZNTG
619Please respect copyright.PENANAdUAI66351h
"Huh? Not you too, Mike," said Zoey, sounding surprised.619Please respect copyright.PENANA7x1p3jSgmN
619Please respect copyright.PENANAl3fWHuIQv1
"Quit it, Zoey." I heard him move on the couch, obviously putting himself in a more comfortable position. "There's nothing to do. Why not relax for a bit?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA0I0mYfSPyG
619Please respect copyright.PENANAcJxBcJOOYY
"I shouldn't be surprised coming from you."619Please respect copyright.PENANAYhLXjbe2ri
619Please respect copyright.PENANAtkxnDdsRDw
"Ya, ya, ya, Zoey. I'm the bad guy here. Doesn't matter now, does it?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0tnra5Qw1
619Please respect copyright.PENANAkqvbBPxsuL
"Well, if there's nothing for you guys to do at the moment, then I'm going to work on something," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAPFkksDmlKa
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlJRzSItbtD
"And what could that be?" Young-jae asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAvinspRmvoT
619Please respect copyright.PENANAszVg3joN0u
"Our song, of course."619Please respect copyright.PENANAEbpuQUIMnw
619Please respect copyright.PENANA03jo4tgIdm
"You go ahead and do that," I said.619Please respect copyright.PENANAo7wCT3lbbC
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwUcohPUrIp
There came an awkward pause and I opened one eye to look at him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAwlyxGCgm3q
619Please respect copyright.PENANAM2KEcrIS60
"You look surprised, Yong-guk," said Yong-nam. He took the words right out of my mouth.619Please respect copyright.PENANAn1W3ZnnWDl
619Please respect copyright.PENANA9m39XJTc6Z
"I thought that would get Sam up from the floor since she seems to really like helping out," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqhRqUIlHyI
619Please respect copyright.PENANAITBLhUKndz
"I'm drained," I said as I closed my one eye and placed my open palm under my head. "As exciting as it sounds, I'll pass."619Please respect copyright.PENANAwM0OKhlwGG
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0eJ5Eb6U9X
"Okay, then," said Yong-guk. "And you, Mike?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAKlQqvLCrNh
619Please respect copyright.PENANAt7kMu0QdCK
"I'll pass too," said Mike.619Please respect copyright.PENANAfMOiIp4MFX
619Please respect copyright.PENANAZSZEhvBV4m
"Okay. I'll be by the console. Any of you guys want to join me?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA2rwuDNVkaK
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjnu7tKJAL3
"Well...," Zelo sounded hesitant and I heard a scratching sound across the table. I imagined he was scratching his head, wondering whether to go or not. "Me too," he finally said. "I don't feel like working on the song right now."619Please respect copyright.PENANAAMZKoh9qsk
619Please respect copyright.PENANAOFSFxAN9jy
"I'm going to relax over here too," said Young-jae.619Please respect copyright.PENANAMCVIZr5Klh
619Please respect copyright.PENANAldb1BXi01J
"What's up with everyone?" Yong-guk asked, sounding surprised.619Please respect copyright.PENANADuJTBWQLLi
619Please respect copyright.PENANAotcVMQP6vJ
"Like Yong-nam said, we're tired," I said as I sat up. "The best thing to do right now is relax."619Please respect copyright.PENANAOek4ec4KtL
619Please respect copyright.PENANAgFS9QRHVl0
"Aren't you worried about not making progress on your song?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAOq5ju3FHGp
619Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y5gMZauOt
"I was about to ask the same question," said Zoey with a sulky look on her face. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAaqm5bdAYIi
619Please respect copyright.PENANAkxcUluon9d
I shrugged. "At first I was, but right now, I need to relax a little before my brain explodes. Don't let me stop you from working on your song."619Please respect copyright.PENANAvpWYKdIFls
619Please respect copyright.PENANATU57cjE7Q3
"Alright, then," said Yong-nam as he also slept on the floor. "Looks like I can also rest. Keeping your eyes on time can be tiring too."619Please respect copyright.PENANAk5WC5rdaww
619Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ku6gBUmeC
"You of all people shouldn't even be sleeping," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANA7C2smc4kDF
619Please respect copyright.PENANANDDzoC2UD3
I laughed. As much as I wanted to hear these two brothers argue, it ended there. I went back to sleeping on the floor.619Please respect copyright.PENANA9x88DNEJd8
619Please respect copyright.PENANAgIPEcTkywX
"I'm going to join the relaxing spree too," said Jongup, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and slept on the floor beside me.619Please respect copyright.PENANAmMykAsMRn6
619Please respect copyright.PENANA8E6qQd9GQL
"Looks like the majority wins," said Himchan as he chuckled.619Please respect copyright.PENANAOdm3Ypu29i
619Please respect copyright.PENANARlRFiHctdP
Zoey mourned in frustration. Even I could tell she's tired. She had no choice but to give in.619Please respect copyright.PENANAWR0VfSPOsg
619Please respect copyright.PENANAw01TeGAf9Y
"Oh, man!" Daniel muttered out loud.619Please respect copyright.PENANAkWCZEl2blH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAdY3xRLAP4E
I lifted my head from the floor to see what Daniel's doing. He had his phone out too and tapping at it. He's probably playing a game.619Please respect copyright.PENANA3xdDJiCs8R
619Please respect copyright.PENANApkJTCtl2Uc
"Sorry, guys," he said. He quickly looked up from his phone when he noticed people's eyes on him. "Playing a game over here."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJi87GYQ085
619Please respect copyright.PENANAadhnwPggTG
I shook my head at him as I put my head back on the floor. I looked beside me and saw Jongup on Instagram looking at cute cat videos. I turned the other side to see Yong-nam with his arm over his face, covering his eyes. He did seem just as tired as all of us. He did help come up with some lyrics, so no argument there.619Please respect copyright.PENANACtcJSTJXlO
619Please respect copyright.PENANA5hsRDCGNWc
I heard Zoey sigh and that brought a smile across my face. "I give up," she said. "I haven't been on Twitter lately. Time to see what's going on in the world."619Please respect copyright.PENANAB1AFQii73N
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwypXyznEot
"I think I'll have a little shut-eye," said Christine.619Please respect copyright.PENANAVbTKcmzpV0
619Please respect copyright.PENANA1fLFpocwV8
Everyone seemed to be busy doing their own things now. I counted Jongup, Daniel, Young-jae and Zoey on their phones. Daehyun, Himchan and Zelo were engaged in a conversation. Even when Mike was resting on the couch, he seemed to be contributing whenever he can. Christine, Yong-nam and I were really the ones resting as we closed our eyes.619Please respect copyright.PENANAbb6qTDQus4
619Please respect copyright.PENANAljtawKnm1E
I heard someone stand up and guessed it was Yong-guk. I could hear footsteps head towards the other side of the room where the recording booth and console were. He seemed serious with what he wanted to do. I continued to lay there on the floor, hoping that I don't fall asleep.619Please respect copyright.PENANArvChOFe1eH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAmH9FwafaJG
I found myself slowly imagining about the outdoor movie we were going to watch. Will it be an oldies movie? I would love to watch such. It just sets you in the mood when it has to.619Please respect copyright.PENANA1TEuYPr5PN
619Please respect copyright.PENANAw0vA7BXAU6
I heard Jongup chuckle to himself and I knew he's still on his cat videos. A thought crossed my mind. Here I am thinking of the outdoor movie when I should be thinking about the song. I don't feel like dwelling on it. Now is the time to relax, nothing more.619Please respect copyright.PENANAV5KXZpkhaT
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwEQB9ar17r
"Hey, Sam?" I heard Jongup call me. "Are you asleep?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAg9e4cf1pcZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAx5YiOa4Qc1
"No," I answered. I drew my eyes open and looked at him. "What is it?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAcQVG2QvVm2
619Please respect copyright.PENANACINLwHWYd7
"Watch this," he said as he scooted closer that our heads nearly touched. He held his phone up for the two of us to see. We watched a cute cat video where a little white and brown kitten was chasing a movable toy mouse on the floor. It was cute and yet funny at the same time as the kitten tried so many times to capture it. Jongup and I laughed.619Please respect copyright.PENANAzjQRpon6Hv
619Please respect copyright.PENANAF4J6CihRPk
"Oh, my," I said as I wiped away the tears in my eyes. "The little kitten really struggled. But you've to admit, it's so cute."619Please respect copyright.PENANAG7RujEINRl
619Please respect copyright.PENANAYvWctTTd4b
"I know," said Jongup. "You should see this previous one. It will knock your socks off."619Please respect copyright.PENANAbECebEiheu
619Please respect copyright.PENANA970vtVJKTS
I joined Jongup in watching more cat videos. We soon moved on to watch people participate in various dance challenges.619Please respect copyright.PENANAC70NSIIyP7
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUlLRhXMpJ5
"We should've a dance challenge one day," I said to Jongup as we watched.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqu0SPUEPp5
619Please respect copyright.PENANAmadd4qzbR0
"Huh?" he turned to look at me. "We should've a dance challenge?"619Please respect copyright.PENANACaZsiKL3D7
619Please respect copyright.PENANAHczH0fIOby
"Ya. I mean The Toxins vs BAP."619Please respect copyright.PENANAUJUjIB74cb
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPdixczHp0o
"Oh..., like the one you had with Monsta X?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA4cUb2vCNO7
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIyD92Tyj9t
"Yes, like that one. You watched it?"619Please respect copyright.PENANACYTzusCkm0
619Please respect copyright.PENANABZGQ9JYpdv
"I think a lot of us did. People really liked it."619Please respect copyright.PENANA2zxJ9lgyj0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAR7MEqzU7w9
"Too bad we lost. But it was fun. We should've one one of these days. That's if we could even make the time for it."619Please respect copyright.PENANA2IfNejmZn0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAKATnrm2wvo
"Oh, you've an album to work on."619Please respect copyright.PENANAvVOpOuDuQ0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAAfKNshA5xP
I stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Just thinking about it drains me." I went back to looking at his phone.619Please respect copyright.PENANASoyyR8FUxp
619Please respect copyright.PENANAG09iQtcAJt
"Did I hear someone talk about having a dance challenge with BAP?" Zoey asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAuga9mObxXG
619Please respect copyright.PENANARf2p0LsJR2
I raised my head a little and saw Zoey still on her phone.619Please respect copyright.PENANA8aRpEfvOUJ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAajyqjCvxta
"Yes, I said that," I said as I dropped my head and stared at Jongup's phone.619Please respect copyright.PENANACpAiGpkG7H
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlW93q50XzO
"Why not do so now?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAa99uTeGgex
619Please respect copyright.PENANAsF2ERU2A0S
"No!" Christine, Mike and I said out loud at the same time.619Please respect copyright.PENANApiE6ESCUdy
619Please respect copyright.PENANAFZKcf7bvE5
"Eish, guys. It's why I asked. You don't have to eat me alive."619Please respect copyright.PENANA4RQSkaD3kg
619Please respect copyright.PENANA6WyUVCkapG
Himchan and the other BAP members around the table started to chuckle.619Please respect copyright.PENANAHubE8cE5XG
619Please respect copyright.PENANAhBKU2ZOcd8
"You Toxins really are something," said Himchan. "You do know that the majority of you opposed, right?"619Please respect copyright.PENANALy46V1saBA
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0WDvv2QO8D
"Except Daniel," said Zelo.619Please respect copyright.PENANA5iTeawH6Cz
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4aTg6IM6GH
"Oh, I refuse too," said Daniel, still on his phone.619Please respect copyright.PENANAvrnrvqBANk
619Please respect copyright.PENANA8aaimNO9i8
Zoey tsked. "You guys are no fun."619Please respect copyright.PENANArLYDcu2X9u
619Please respect copyright.PENANAU13ON4ja17
"Use logic, Zoey," said Christine. "We're all tired and don't have the energy for a dance challenge."619Please respect copyright.PENANAfD4U0nRLVt
619Please respect copyright.PENANAJxUuCOv1Mz
"I know that. I thought maybe someone's in the mood for it."619Please respect copyright.PENANASKSXRzrVr0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAO8PvSouxjs
"No one is in the mood for it," said Mike.619Please respect copyright.PENANA7i8DQGDiNj
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXYkiILAh0t
"And what if the BAP members were?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA6Osh8cC3kz
619Please respect copyright.PENANANS8ACYw4Mq
I heard Daehyun nervously chuckle. "To be honest, Zoey," he said, "I'm definitely not in the mood."619Please respect copyright.PENANAwhgz7zXjTQ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMycAskZEZG
"Me too," said Young-jae.619Please respect copyright.PENANAgmcdGfAnzH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAL0hAMgUdzn
"Me three," said Zelo.619Please respect copyright.PENANAfhCglvh5xR
619Please respect copyright.PENANAX85i0OW7G0
"Guess I don't have to ask you, Himchan," said Zoey, sounding unimpressed.619Please respect copyright.PENANAtregXoDE5v
619Please respect copyright.PENANAeTKvzQ7rRG
Himchan, just like Daehyun, nervously chuckled too.619Please respect copyright.PENANAKTmMWzMcOV
619Please respect copyright.PENANAK7jwWHlJlD
"You can ask Yong-guk," Zelo suggested.619Please respect copyright.PENANAprrvLID13f
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIOtpEgwswZ
"Nah. He's already busy and I don't like to be a bother."619Please respect copyright.PENANAEYFtq07pnZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANALBoHtORbZj
"Really?" Mike asked. Uh-oh. I smell an argument brewing. "You bother a lot of us everyday."619Please respect copyright.PENANAovbmBB0A6Z
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIuZZ98XDWF
"What did you say!?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA2o8Tlq2UoI
619Please respect copyright.PENANAkzQ9PlBiLA
"Quiet down, Zoey," said Christine. "You're disturbing Yong-nam. He's probably asleep."619Please respect copyright.PENANAv0iv3FtwQA
619Please respect copyright.PENANAgix4r1BNhl
I turned to look at Yong-nam beside me and saw him move his arm above his eyes. He had one eye open. He turned his eye to look at me. I almost yelped. I felt embarrassed that he had caught me looking at him. The corner of his lips raised to a smile. He closed his eye and moved his arm back to cover his eyes. That was it.619Please respect copyright.PENANA2YJOrmh92e
619Please respect copyright.PENANAhCiGH2CE24
"I bet he isn't," said Zoey. "Is he, Sam?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAqt7KLXadaX
619Please respect copyright.PENANAvmN04yCGoj
"Huh?" I got a little caught off guard as I didn't answer Zoey's question.619Please respect copyright.PENANAkqRFLSL5fq
619Please respect copyright.PENANA5NNl2mnyr0
"Is he awake?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAM7FjngkuBs
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEudPx2fjQJ
"Not sure," I answered. "He would've said something if he was."619Please respect copyright.PENANA3thd8wnqdn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPt36lSPXm3
I looked at him and noticed a wide smile on his face. Okay...., didn't know what to make of it, so I quickly turned my attention back to Jongup's phone.619Please respect copyright.PENANA4AWFtG57Fw
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQauprYbBxu
"Anyway, where was I?" Zoey asked as she paused to think a bit. I noticed that no one's willing to remind her. It's best not to.619Please respect copyright.PENANAQj9GLqAZkZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAimgtQWohuL
"Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "It's what you said, Mike. How am I a bother to you?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAMbuT8sk152
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3NAQqNEjO
"You're being a bother right now. I'm trying to rest and you're disturbing me."619Please respect copyright.PENANAgrQYo0SxnM
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGGfhXIU2ir
Zoey hissed that I thought a snake had magically appeared in the room. If she was one, no doubt she would attack Mike first.619Please respect copyright.PENANAlIFGytXIsA
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGgoXQj8V6R
"Enough," said Christine. "No one wants to see or hear you two fight."619Please respect copyright.PENANAF7oT546Lr2
619Please respect copyright.PENANAgajEA19eJg
"Mike started it," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANARRg1fTq9tG
619Please respect copyright.PENANAuvRmxniXJR
"You amplified it," said Mike. "You always do."619Please respect copyright.PENANAjtgoWQfGMJ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAfYAWmvj6aY
"For once I agree with Mike," I said. "Let it go, Zoey."619Please respect copyright.PENANATPQ9xioEQW
619Please respect copyright.PENANAREcwcyWCly
"You guys are unbelievable," said Zoey.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqLATm1n3f4
619Please respect copyright.PENANAzdNO10mXY7
"You're unbelievable," said Himchan as he chuckled. "You really are a drama queen. No offense."619Please respect copyright.PENANAuKso9Mdnnf
619Please respect copyright.PENANAigkd450OpH
"None taken. These guys call me that all the time."619Please respect copyright.PENANAWwkbjUU1D2
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlxDfCzZNC9
After a while, all of us settled back to what we were doing. I was still watching videos with Jongup when I suddenly sat up from the floor. If I continued lying there, I would probably have a backache.619Please respect copyright.PENANAC4oEDRnFLn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAoU1k3iusIp
I stretched out my arms and stood up, stretching my whole body.619Please respect copyright.PENANATvsgPPDXOm
619Please respect copyright.PENANAKiF1lNoYGn
"I've had enough of watching Instagram videos," I told Jongup.619Please respect copyright.PENANACrwsd1Z4HS
619Please respect copyright.PENANAvSR990csO7
He gave me a smile and went back to looking at his phone. I turned to look at everyone and almost all of them were either quietly resting or on their phones.619Please respect copyright.PENANAmwLhDdr29e
619Please respect copyright.PENANAY8elmVlYVs
I looked over at Yong-guk who was still seated at the console. I decided to go over and see how he's progressing with the song.619Please respect copyright.PENANAy8sXNAZl8B
619Please respect copyright.PENANApE8vWmDuFn
"Hey, there," I said to him when I got behind him. I bent over to look at him from the side of his face.619Please respect copyright.PENANA85rgYj1kDw
619Please respect copyright.PENANAi5QZ7TwhY6
"Oh, Sam," he looked up at me, surprised. "I didn't hear you coming."619Please respect copyright.PENANAAgpEbtxiSW
619Please respect copyright.PENANA2whTumBjSd
"I've cat feet," I said as I took the empty seat next to him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAuoW249Zsfe
619Please respect copyright.PENANAa7x6CZ84mn
"Cat feet?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAPEg69HC7Z6
619Please respect copyright.PENANARSP8fejYOg
"I'm told there are times when people don't hear me coming so they say I've cat feet. I sometimes scare them."619Please respect copyright.PENANA66aE1BtEu3
619Please respect copyright.PENANAby20yiDm6L
"Oh, I see."619Please respect copyright.PENANAbNCDpnyryy
619Please respect copyright.PENANAvvQbiC0QXf
"It's true, Yong-guk," Zoey said behind us. "So don't upset her or else she might come to your room and murder you."619Please respect copyright.PENANAqCBuXIgqra
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwEwIwRdE1q
"I'll keep that in mind," said Yong-guk as he turned to smile at her.619Please respect copyright.PENANAUOiP3W4zv7
619Please respect copyright.PENANACGBGeEfZ96
"Don't listen to her," I said as I turned to look at the console in front of me. "So, what are you really working on? I thought we were done and dusted with your song."619Please respect copyright.PENANAFBDcHjcxbe
619Please respect copyright.PENANARlwLmqoWR4
"I'm not working on our song," said Yong-guk as he went to work on the laptop.619Please respect copyright.PENANAKPJHm0at9w
619Please respect copyright.PENANApcyklDgZfn
"Then, what are you working on?" I raised my eyebrow at him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAq4hfXcMsBX
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlFg7TYKBt8
"On your song," he answered.619Please respect copyright.PENANA3vQlemOnPf
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4zoAhujW9D
"Huh?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAxrPrINeOtb
619Please respect copyright.PENANA10QhlaoXSH
"The tune you played earlier gave me a little inspiration to somehow come up with an instrumental. It's still not finished since I just started."619Please respect copyright.PENANADZ7Rl9ZjrH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAi4gkTAzORm
"Wow." I'm surprised. I didn't think Yong-guk would go this far. I didn't even know what to say.619Please respect copyright.PENANALpLHfvBO5T
619Please respect copyright.PENANAV8c1UBjppL
"Hey, are you okay, Sam?" Yong-guk asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAFkLR1m4Uzy
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0qjz48cT1t
I quickly turned to look at him. "Huh?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA8UPsU5wt3V
619Please respect copyright.PENANA5pQwukifaZ
"You spaced out for a bit. Is it a bad idea that I'm working on the instrumental? I know there will probably be someone working on it, but I thought I could do something, you know?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAgAhoCiVR4o
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIqdwdSMtxX
I smiled at him. He really means it. There aren't many people in the world who are so thoughtful.619Please respect copyright.PENANAYzTtd8MAQ8
619Please respect copyright.PENANASrgzEcuvVB
"I know what you mean. And no. I think there's no better person to work on it than you, Yong-guk."619Please respect copyright.PENANA7OeY7q9y3F
619Please respect copyright.PENANATYMU5M9Cfh
"Really?" He looked a little surprised with what I said.619Please respect copyright.PENANAKCFmWkUGkM
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwPPRs25WLH
"Of course! Who would've thought we would've you helping us? It's actually really nice of you."619Please respect copyright.PENANAhDxw1xZpoP
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXJlAM4Atpd
I noticed his cheeks start to redden a little and he quickly turned away. I continued to smile. I had this overwhelming feeling like I could hug him, but now isn't the time.619Please respect copyright.PENANA5NJa0O4HYS
619Please respect copyright.PENANAyxbrU3u9N4
"May I hear what you've done so far?" I asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAWJjLWtR6tA
619Please respect copyright.PENANAuVnYMXJThG
"Ah..., sure," he said as he brought over the laptop closer.619Please respect copyright.PENANAdAqzDoKc1d
619Please respect copyright.PENANAdUmGi1AZ9W
He showed me what he had done and even when the instrumental was short, it sounded great. He really did follow the tune and melody like I had done with the guitar. He also added a few beats into the mix making the song sound more like pop.619Please respect copyright.PENANARUA3JJvdDp
619Please respect copyright.PENANA1PwnyPAC6N
"Amazing," I looked at him with so much awe. "It's no wonder you're such a great producer."619Please respect copyright.PENANA1ufvIRSfrR
619Please respect copyright.PENANAaemOZf2Eyl
He chuckled. "Coming from you, that means a lot."619Please respect copyright.PENANAMoux8CIUVy
619Please respect copyright.PENANAr7cMmLJEb7
"The others should hear this." My ear twitched. "I know you're there, Mike."619Please respect copyright.PENANAfHC4ZFgbUw
619Please respect copyright.PENANAuEfA9FXTvS
"Dang it!" I heard him mutter. Yong-guk and I turned around to see him behind us. "How come my cat feet can't work on you?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAwghRy5cIed
619Please respect copyright.PENANAONeGmtfSM4
"Because what you've ain't cat feet," I smirked at him. "You've to work a lot harder than that."619Please respect copyright.PENANArFIsi70MJb
619Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z1JLOZV85
"Anyway....," he came closer and placed his hands on my shoulder and Yong-guk's, "what is it that some of us have to listen to?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAuLJY0Gj7Cp
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4MhPdnlR9V
"This," I said as I pressed the play button on the laptop, playing out the instrumental for him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAVxWAj0bD9t
619Please respect copyright.PENANA6i0UxP4jYT
"Wow," muttered Mike. "But wait..., why does this beat sound familiar?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAis8AWZu989
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXfigZ8sSUX
"It's because it's the beat to our song, silly," I said to him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAVFebtAeGQd
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMt1BQuX3c4
"Wow! Really!" I saw Mike look at Yong-guk just like I did earlier, with so much awe. "This is what you were working on?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAJGdEVqa1GV
619Please respect copyright.PENANA9LUvj3VIPm
Yong-guk nodded his head. Mike almost screamed like a girl, but he tried not to be so loud. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like his five year old self when he got a remote control car for his birthday.619Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tclWLDRK
619Please respect copyright.PENANAV8yWi8MIHh
"You're amazing," he said as he patted Yong-guk on the shoulder. "This song will be awesome."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJEWY1lXpbn
619Please respect copyright.PENANA3scpOdu8AS
"Thanks," he said. "You should be thanking your sister, though."619Please respect copyright.PENANAFtMcaLyqj2
619Please respect copyright.PENANATBYUFGKyLZ
"Huh?" Mike and I looked pluzzled.619Please respect copyright.PENANAaXS81RHqtQ
619Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ky7txD5R5
"Remember what I said," he said as he looked at me. "The way you played with the guitar inspired me to come up with this."619Please respect copyright.PENANAtUTtwr332t
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPnF8SwNecf
"Oh...," I forgot he said that. Now it's my turn to blush, and Yong-guk smiled.619Please respect copyright.PENANArVs31va1F5
619Please respect copyright.PENANArNfCee7qGw
"Ya, my sister is a genius," said Mike. "May I join you?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA5drhxfndRB
619Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y94ZXTALc
"Sure," said Yong-guk. "With you two here, I bet we can work on it together."619Please respect copyright.PENANAon3AOuM0HH
619Please respect copyright.PENANARj5Yd9owv1
"And probably come up with lyrics for the song," I said when it dawned on me. "That's why you wanted me to come and join you here by the console."619Please respect copyright.PENANA9lCmYYPGGY
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGP2KdAKKXC
"I see you've got what I intended to do." Yong-guk turned to look at me with a smile. Mike sat on his other side. "I thought working on the instrumental will give you some idea on lyrics for the song."619Please respect copyright.PENANANXICwGlMkX
619Please respect copyright.PENANAd9OOiwmQ9u
"We'll see," said Mike as he rubbed his hands together and looking at the console before him like a hot, tasty meal he couldn't wait to put in his mouth.619Please respect copyright.PENANAu1BMeguf5i
619Please respect copyright.PENANArXKcOOjbML
"Alright, let's start," said Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAviv5KKTlTa
619Please respect copyright.PENANAk70NKgj0aL
The three of us worked on the beats maker software on the laptop. With Mike's creativity and Yong-guk's producer skills, working on the instrumental was smooth and simple. We had no idea how long we had been working on it, but we had fun and joked around whenever we could.619Please respect copyright.PENANAoHsIvhypXp
619Please respect copyright.PENANAG9zc8UONLN
"Hey, what's going on here?" Himchan asked as he came to join us.619Please respect copyright.PENANAr4qjSUShFV
619Please respect copyright.PENANA8uCQgEs9Nz
"We're working on an instrumental," Mike answered.619Please respect copyright.PENANAF0S9RXyqTR
619Please respect copyright.PENANAU5sj1Pi1CY
"Which one?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ob620xKxS
619Please respect copyright.PENANAulubNajWoB
"For our song," I answered. "You should hear it, it's really good."619Please respect copyright.PENANAX52iLeGW8p
619Please respect copyright.PENANAAdHtCmyFeI
"Oh, I thought you had run out of ideas for the lyrics."619Please respect copyright.PENANA15YO0hO2ue
619Please respect copyright.PENANADZZ3qWRVmd
"Well, I did. Maybe if I continue working on the instrumental, I might come up with them."619Please respect copyright.PENANAvtO5QZaB85
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGkiwGLnQTc
"How far have you gone doing so?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAVx9uEWBSqX
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwlJOkf9gr5
"Not too far," Yong-guk answered. "We've only tried to work on the first part and heading to the chorus. But even that needs a lot of work."619Please respect copyright.PENANA6G1VgfvFs5
619Please respect copyright.PENANAjnUM6sjF1w
"I agree," said Mike.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqw4IrR8gNf
619Please respect copyright.PENANAZqpiHtXR0o
"And you're going to use this instrumental for your album?" Himchan asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAoQIyQXikqC
619Please respect copyright.PENANAX0dgkdb1S2
"Of course we're," I answered, looking back at him. I now understood why he asked and I winced.619Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXaqeCNfN
619Please respect copyright.PENANA2kgJ4u2hM5
"What is it, Sam?" Mike asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANAnOMVOXsmUM
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMEmTkznUgF
"We need to seek permission to use this instrumental." I scratched the back of my head. "Goodness, why didn't I think about this before?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA8JMHyTx4hs
619Please respect copyright.PENANAQxaHtj1EGK
"Oh, ya," Mike turned to look at me quickly. "Why can't you give Collins a call and tell him that we've someone helping us?"619Please respect copyright.PENANASsOfyB7KUz
619Please respect copyright.PENANAFquE9U94h4
"Collins may agree. But what about Yang Hyun-suk?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAaemCjpWRiK
619Please respect copyright.PENANATjiEHg5fHa
Mike and I stared at each other. We both winced like we had done something wrong and we would be in big trouble for it.619Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9OftmfvZP
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlZkMUgVFYx
"Gosh, the man is troubling," said Mike as he leaned back in his seat. "He can hunt you in your dreams if you think about him too much."619Please respect copyright.PENANAR81bLvL8Md
619Please respect copyright.PENANAtqKpaXQGek
"He's really strict," I said. "And he's also hard to impress. If we do play out the instrumental for him, would he really like it?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAf9aVvszXb1
619Please respect copyright.PENANAqVybHgUmML
"This is your tune and melody, Sam. So, he can't refuse. I mean, the song we did with BigBang was all you too."619Please respect copyright.PENANApfoM06YoNW
619Please respect copyright.PENANA1qE98sCkHi
"It was?" Yong-guk and Himchan asked at the same time.619Please respect copyright.PENANAqPkoYwhuAx
619Please respect copyright.PENANAhb2DQlVDxe
"Never mind that," I told them as I went back to looking at Mike. "I'm worried because Yong-guk is helping us produce this one. Will Yang Hyun-suk agree?"619Please respect copyright.PENANA01v9hlWvkI
619Please respect copyright.PENANAR85Pfgx1QU
"As long as he knows you thought of it in the first place, he'll definitely agree." Mike leaned forward so as to look at me.619Please respect copyright.PENANAOEcT3lXz8X
619Please respect copyright.PENANAWoi1ut3mqJ
"Does this thing involving me always have to be highlighted?"619Please respect copyright.PENANACnTxK4nzFn
619Please respect copyright.PENANAbjOQrl2epU
"Daa, yes! Out of all of us, Yang Hyun-suk approves of you the most. He'll definitely go through with it."619Please respect copyright.PENANAAKxChXsCQ4
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7xx8HfWx4U
I gave Mike a look. I don't consider myself as Yang Hyun-suk's favourite among The Toxins. I'm just afraid he won't approve.619Please respect copyright.PENANAkl159AqUPC
619Please respect copyright.PENANAY28lLUd03J
"Okay, if that's the case, than what of Yong-guk? Will he really help us through till the end?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAQuLT2Eu6aj
619Please respect copyright.PENANABqquPuUUu2
"I don't think we've to worry about that. Besides, even if he didn't offer to help, he seemed to do it out of his own free will, you know."619Please respect copyright.PENANArIN3tAqPfA
619Please respect copyright.PENANAzRlMM7RdvO
"I'm right here, you guys," said Yong-guk in between Mike and me. "I can clearly hear you."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJwnN5uF3mQ
619Please respect copyright.PENANAH28BbpA1k1
Mike and I turned to look at him, then ignored him like he wasn't there. Himchan chuckled.619Please respect copyright.PENANACQd6V0L7hI
619Please respect copyright.PENANAmcqthHJX7m
"You're right," I said. "He'll stay till the end. He's such a good friend for helping us out."619Please respect copyright.PENANAzdq8DRd3fd
619Please respect copyright.PENANAt7XJmjXFC5
"I know right," Mike smiled. "He's awesome."619Please respect copyright.PENANADepegUKKgp
619Please respect copyright.PENANAljXfR1o51o
"I think you better focus on giving Collins a call, Sam," said Yong-guk, trying to sound serious, yet falling to do so.619Please respect copyright.PENANAYxYhPiCuBN
619Please respect copyright.PENANAeVWGsuWKZp
"Aww," Himchan complained. "Their conversation was just about to get more interesting."619Please respect copyright.PENANAJWFghsB90l
619Please respect copyright.PENANADofFkhDONS
I laughed. "He's just trying to hide the fact that he's blushing."619Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Qj7XpqP1
619Please respect copyright.PENANAz2P8dKunjs
"No, I'm not," said Yong-guk as he folded his arms and looked straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.619Please respect copyright.PENANAEg89yEwuVj
619Please respect copyright.PENANADskR5hIGtc
Mike burst out laughing that he leaned back further in his seat. "Stop trying to put up a serious face, Yong-guk," he said. "You look awfully funny."619Please respect copyright.PENANA10VSJJVfWg
619Please respect copyright.PENANAAvTqNnpS8d
I couldn't help but agree with Mike as I also started laughing. I had to keep in mind that I had a phone call to make. I soon stood up from my seat.619Please respect copyright.PENANAypPkeAqqHW
619Please respect copyright.PENANAhIoZj69VSu
"I'll be back," I said as I tried to stop laughing. "You better not have that face when I get back, Yong-guk."619Please respect copyright.PENANAc9QHSnPuQZ
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7xkzmjGw5f
I walked away from the others as I made my way to the door. I needed to be somewhere more private if I am to talk with Collins.619Please respect copyright.PENANA4q6eCi3IJ9
619Please respect copyright.PENANALimeHIrbwR
I stepped out into the hall and looked both ways. There's nobody walking around. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and searched for Collins' number. I pressed the call button and placed the phone to my ear.619Please respect copyright.PENANATP5WmE0JSe
619Please respect copyright.PENANAzNmuBl5gA9
His phone rang, and it kept on ringing. I grew worried that he might not answer. Maybe he's busy. He did say he would be occupied today. I better call him at a later time.619Please respect copyright.PENANAt6snIdLROy
619Please respect copyright.PENANAn7npGqRxit
Just when I'm about to cut the call, he picked up at the last minute.619Please respect copyright.PENANA0vYJyJ3rLc
619Please respect copyright.PENANAZCE7IIVKTu
"Hi, Sam," came his voice. "How's song writing going?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAGx91LnZamC
619Please respect copyright.PENANAuSB9rvumLe
"Not good, I'm afraid," I said as I scratched the back of my head wondering how to bring up the instrumental thing.619Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mciwn9jt2
619Please respect copyright.PENANA9sZsFwSXKy
"You'll figure it out. You do have extra help, don't you?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAzMrvuDvgvc
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEULNeJdXig
"I see Lee told you about BAP."619Please respect copyright.PENANAnGw1Qnyr24
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPR30K0gfaI
"Well, she had to. So what can I do for you?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAz3pmMuYJSR
619Please respect copyright.PENANAmyoV94ts8C
"Well, we were working on the song and we felt a little stuck. So we had help with coming up with the instrumental for the song."619Please respect copyright.PENANA4G8Jk9ZaBT
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7OU6dwKGyT
"You're already coming up with that?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAGN5GnySH0F
619Please respect copyright.PENANAeVCybpDlnU
I scratched the back of my head even more as I started to pace up and down in front of the door. "Well, ya. You see, Yong-guk - the leader of BAP - kind of got inspired to make us the instrumental because of the way I played it with the guitar. So we were wondering if it's okay with you that we use it for the song."619Please respect copyright.PENANAT15LVKwl1R
619Please respect copyright.PENANAATv8cqCzfX
There was silence on the other end. I wonder what Collins must be thinking. He's a little unpredictable sometimes and he might not agree with it.619Please respect copyright.PENANAJozqs7KO2n
619Please respect copyright.PENANAHTE55eYphX
"Well," he started to say, "we would've to listen to it to see if it's actually good. The big problem is whether he should be working on it in the first place."619Please respect copyright.PENANAYbFn2AMARo
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlq3UftT0yZ
I knew it. I had to say something quick to convince him.619Please respect copyright.PENANAWQL0buk5gs
619Please respect copyright.PENANAVRZvGhso7p
"I know, but he's really good. And besides, Mike and I are helping out too. You can be rest assured that it will be great."619Please respect copyright.PENANA7aG4PxTIEN
619Please respect copyright.PENANAiQhN2Z1O6v
"I believe you. But you know I'm not the only manager in this project of ours."619Please respect copyright.PENANAmOVDVAJxOj
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlAd6SR6oOj
"If you could talk to Yang Hyun-suk for me, I bet he would agree. Yong-guk is a great producer and he's reputation proves that otherwise."619Please respect copyright.PENANArmWil5HenR
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPrgWRTOHSY
"I don't have to talk to Yang Hyun-suk. He's right here with me. I put you on loud speaker."619Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fr8eR233n
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUSAVQJXYMP
I swallowed as I stopped pacing and my heart did one huge beat that I felt my chest hurt.619Please respect copyright.PENANA1ObsQslQvz
619Please respect copyright.PENANAuimFfC1ETo
"Oh..., good afternoon, Yang Hyun-suk sarangnim," I said quickly, so as not to seem surprised.619Please respect copyright.PENANApd4HayHAD2
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hrpm3zHyY
"Afternoon," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice. I could feel beads of sweet starting to form on my forehead. "I heard everything you had to say."619Please respect copyright.PENANAbAbVbeKRwK
619Please respect copyright.PENANAwV33a4z5fx
"And what do you think?"619Please respect copyright.PENANAxxIBl91Jg0
619Please respect copyright.PENANAIf2GsrCF33
"Well..., as much as the idea sounds tempting, I would actually refuse."619Please respect copyright.PENANAuL8ZzgQOel
619Please respect copyright.PENANAfo0V9HEy67
My heart sank. I told myself it was worth a try anyway.619Please respect copyright.PENANALR9qxjiMP5
619Please respect copyright.PENANA3OTto4k2gp
"But," he continued, "we're talking about Bang Yong-guk, and he's reputation, like you've said, precedes him. If he does want to help out and you think he's the right producer for the job, then I've no objection to it. You can proceed with making the instrumental."619Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Xnec2wAs
619Please respect copyright.PENANA1m4vje2x1P
"Really!" I cried out in excitement. I can't believe he actually agreed.619Please respect copyright.PENANAQUpYIy07rl
619Please respect copyright.PENANAkRY6yWKiTq
"Let's not forget that we're the ones that have the final say. If it's good, then we will proceed."619Please respect copyright.PENANAYW4T8jMctD
619Please respect copyright.PENANA6bslsTIw6D
"Thank you!" I said with so much excitement. I could hear the two managers chuckle to themselves. "I promise you won't be disappointed."619Please respect copyright.PENANAbmX2urmJCH
619Please respect copyright.PENANAPFc7aE9d5j
"Make us proud, Sam," said Collins. "I hope you'll be able to come up with lyrics."619Please respect copyright.PENANA4UwI8eGjW8
619Please respect copyright.PENANAMXxhQxhyvu
"I will. Thank you once again."619Please respect copyright.PENANADUIQlbWhE3
619Please respect copyright.PENANApjk2z7s1jz
The two managers wished me luck. As soon as the line cut, I punched the air with excitement. We're really doing this. I can't wait to tell the others.619Please respect copyright.PENANAPPPbG83A3R
619Please respect copyright.PENANAUweS4KYyTc
I turned around and opened the door to the studio. As soon as I went in, I quickly rushed over to the others on the console.619Please respect copyright.PENANAIzrvYdRc39
619Please respect copyright.PENANAGtrgiRqRPR
"What's the news?" Mike asked as he looked at me.619Please respect copyright.PENANAwepLxy5SDX
619Please respect copyright.PENANA9KeXAONpPr
"I hope it's good," said Himchan.619Please respect copyright.PENANAb0Wvq0tVs1
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7wBqqzo81E
"What news?" asked Daniel who was still seated on the couch. His eyes left the phone as he looked at us who were by the console.619Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7umBKlPa
619Please respect copyright.PENANAXbVEBsMebD
"They agreed," I answered.619Please respect copyright.PENANAGdsdLPHYfu
619Please respect copyright.PENANAs0bTYv7RsP
Himchan and Mike clapped, looking relieved. Yong-guk leaned back in his seat, looking cool and composed, but I could tell that he was just as happy as the three of us.619Please respect copyright.PENANAzK7rYl24ki
619Please respect copyright.PENANAKthNHhcMsT
"Who agreed to what?" Daniel asked as he stood up from his couch to come over and join us. "I want to know what's going on."619Please respect copyright.PENANAAdyvRjj07F
619Please respect copyright.PENANA7E1f95nG6y
"Ya, I'm also anxious to know what you're all talking about," said Daehyun.619Please respect copyright.PENANARdUcICV8TU
619Please respect copyright.PENANAFQwweotJle
"Me too," said Zoey. "What did I miss?"619Please respect copyright.PENANABsHOmo4dD5
619Please respect copyright.PENANAySeOJExzR6
"A lot," I answered.619Please respect copyright.PENANA8TWCGdrATv
619Please respect copyright.PENANAaR7XiRYm6Q
I told them what was going on and how I somehow managed to talk to the managers to go through with Yong-guk's instrumental.619Please respect copyright.PENANALqwTiv2NbY
619Please respect copyright.PENANAlHKFR1MqY5
"Wow, that's awesome," said Zelo.619Please respect copyright.PENANAXQOTNFOuvu
619Please respect copyright.PENANALla6i9tEuu
"You see how the managers just love you, Sam?" Mike asked.619Please respect copyright.PENANABAZkx3nhIP
619Please respect copyright.PENANAnHK0lBBsns
"No, they don't," I emphasised. "If they don't like the instrumental, we aren't going to use it. So it has to be perfect."619Please respect copyright.PENANAkuunJWLTK8
619Please respect copyright.PENANAcO8gbHimlU
"But for them to agree its because they know Yong-guk is an awesome producer," said Himchan. "No doubt it will be lit."619Please respect copyright.PENANAOCkYhgzOND
619Please respect copyright.PENANAEIWGQZf0i4
"I agree with Himchan," said Zoey. "And besides, it's more of Sam's original, so they can't say no."619Please respect copyright.PENANAbzVsEZ1sMt
619Please respect copyright.PENANALYbEHHgX6s
"Okay, we just need to focus on the instrumental and hopefully come up with the lyrics," I said.619Please respect copyright.PENANAFCzm8YXY4w
619Please respect copyright.PENANAl216hK5C7u
"Well, you better work on those fast," said Yong-nam, who was now wide awake, but still laying on the floor. "You don't have much time."619Please respect copyright.PENANAkyzeF7Dcuf
619Please respect copyright.PENANA27IZtbh0BW
"Okay," I said as I rubbed my hands together. "Toxins, get over here by the console, please."619Please respect copyright.PENANAdxV8zwt0bS
619Please respect copyright.PENANATyn0wBJsHk
"Okay," said Christine and Zoey as they both stood up from the couch and quickly came over.619Please respect copyright.PENANAuNMmJHDwYt
619Please respect copyright.PENANA9DvoAL7maM
"We will be here to help in anyway we can," said Young-jae.619Please respect copyright.PENANA5bnJYUrpat
619Please respect copyright.PENANAVmxI4LMX5C
"Thanks, guys," I said with a smile. I went over to sit back on my chair next to Yong-guk.619Please respect copyright.PENANAQxBJh9YPXV
619Please respect copyright.PENANAJdH3us2jrM
"Okay," said Yong-guk. "Let's continue where we ended, shall we?"
